Powerful Productivity Features:
Less time managing information means more time for what's most important to your success.
FileMaker Pro 8.5 helps you work faster so you’ll have more time to spend
on what's most important to your business, community, or life. It includes
dozens of features that simplify and automate operations - from faster searching
and sorting to easy creation of email newsletters and pre-programmed functions.
You just might wonder why you have spare time on your hands - and why you didn't
invest in FileMaker Pro sooner!
Email marketing made easy
Using Email Merge, you can send e-mails to one or many contacts in a few simple
steps without scripting. Add merge fields from your database for added
personalization, and automatically add attachments if you choose. Great for
email newsletters, news updates, and more.
Search databases without typing
With the FileMaker Fast Match feature, you can select information from the
current field, and with one mouse click, find all matching records. Simply click
on any field, then right click (or ctrl-click on Mac), and select “Find
Matching records” to automatically perform a find for that field using its
content as the search criteria. You can then constrain or extend your found set
to find more records or refine your search.
Import tables more efficiently
Immediately add a new table to your database's structure by simply importing new
data. There's no need to create a table to receive the data first - the table is
optionally created on-the-fly without you having to lift a finger.
Automate data entry
The Auto-complete features gives you faster and more accurate data entry by
adding the ability to fill in field contents automatically based on previous
entries or Value Lists.
Ensure everything is letter perfect
Check the spelling of data entry with the visual spell checker that underlines
misspelled words and suggests alternatives.
Choose from hundreds of built-in functions
You can easily add calendar drop downs, data entry value lists, and hundreds of
other built-in programming functions to save data entry time and automate
repetitive tasks.
Built-In Security and Sharing
Imagine everyone being able to access the same information at the same time.
It’s safe and easy with FileMaker Pro.
FileMaker Pro comes with multi-user support so you can securely share
FileMaker databases with Windows and Mac users - over your network or across the
Web. Plus, FileMaker supports the most popular file formats so you’ll be able
to share your information with virtually anyone you choose.
Sharing over your network
You can share FileMaker databases over a network with up to five simultaneous
users with either the Mac OS-based or Windows versions of FileMaker Pro or
FileMaker Pro Advanced. And with the advanced security features of FileMaker,
you decide who have access to what information and when. You can secure your
databases by assigning account names and passwords, and then assign custom
privileges for each user, specifying what they can view and edit, down to the
field level.
Sharing across the Web
If you have remote offices, clients or vendors that need anytime, anywhere
access to your FileMaker information, you're in business. FileMaker comes with
powerful web publishing tools to provide secure access to specified users via
their browser. The database displays in a format familiar to what is
displayed in the Windows or Mac OS versions of FileMaker Pro, and it uses your
existing Internet connection to publish the database to the Web so no additional
hardware or software, other than a supported web browser**, is required. (**
Supports Safari Web Browser for Mac, Internet Explorer on Windows, and Firefox
on several platforms.)
Support for Popular File Formats
Thanks to support for the most-popular file formats, you can easily share
FileMaker information with others outside you FileMaker workgroup. The PDF Maker
creates Adobe PDF files from you FileMaker information with a single click -
even add a password to secure editing or printing abilities. And if you ever
need to send data to Microsoft Excel users, you'll find the Excel Maker
indispensable. In addition to PDF and Excel support, FileMaker Pro imports and
